2020 Ford Bronco

The 2020 Ford Bronco is an upcoming mid-size Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) that will mark the return of the Bronco name after the model was discontinued in 1996.

Expectations

Here’s what we expect from the 2020 Ford Bronco:

Exterior:

Mid-size SUV roughly 190 inches in length

Tough, rugged styling cues

Capable approach, breakaway and departure angles making for a capable off-road vehicle

Interior:

Two rows of seating for five passengers

Split-folding rear seats with ample cargo room

Platform:

Based on the Ford T6 platform shared with:

T6 Ford Ranger for International markets

Ford Everest for International markets (sold as the Ford Endeavour in India)

2019 Ford Ranger for the U.S. and Canadian markets

The previous Ford technical head, Raj Nair, stated that despite sharing a platform with these Everest/Endeavour, the 2020 Bronco will be its own unique vehicle, rather than a rebadged Ford Everest currently sold in the Asia-Pacific region.

Positioning:

Slotting below the Ford Expedition, currently the only remaining Ford SUV on a body-on-frame platform

In that way, the 2020 Bronco would effectively be taking the place of the Ford Explorer when the Explorer switched from a body-on-frame SUV to a unibody crossover utility vehicle (CUV) in 2011

Be positioned as an SUV variant of the upcoming 2019 Ford Ranger

Production:

Built at the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan alongside the 2019 Ford Ranger. The Ford Focus and Ford C-MAX that are currently being built at the plant will be discontinued, and the lineup of the next Ford Focus will be limited to the Focus Activ model, which is expected to be imported from China.

Body Styles

The 2020 Ford Bronco will be offered as a mid-size five-door sport utility vehicle (SUV). A pickup variant will be available as the revived 2019 Ford Ranger.

Platform

All sixth-generation units of the Ford Bronco will ride on the Ford T6 platform shared with the following vehicles:
